## Overview

Convert your existing WebP images to a lossless WebP format, ensuring perfect quality preservation while maintaining the efficiency of the WebP container.

## Inputs

- **WebP Image File** (file): Select WebP image to convert to lossless
- **Compression Effort (0-6)** (number): Higher = better compression but slower
- **Compression Method (0-6)** (number): Higher = better compression but slower
- **Smart Subsample** (checkbox): Use smart subsampling for potentially better quality with chroma channels

## When to use

- When you need to ensure zero quality degradation for archival or high-fidelity image storage.
- When you want to re-encode lossy WebP files into a lossless format for further editing or processing.
- When you need to optimize the compression settings of an existing WebP file without sacrificing pixel data.

## How it works

- Upload your source WebP image file to the tool.
- Adjust the compression effort and method settings if you require specific optimization levels.
- Enable smart subsampling if you want to optimize chroma channel quality.
- Process the file to generate and download your new lossless WebP image.

## Use cases

- Preparing high-quality assets for professional web design where pixel-perfect clarity is required.
- Standardizing image libraries to a consistent lossless format for reliable future editing.
- Re-saving lossy web graphics into a lossless format to prevent generation loss during repeated saves.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does this tool reduce image quality?

No, this tool converts images to a lossless format, meaning no pixel data is lost during the conversion process.

### What is the difference between compression effort and method?

Both settings control the balance between file size and processing speed; higher values result in better compression but take longer to compute.

### Can I convert multiple files at once?

This tool currently supports processing one WebP image file at a time.

### What is Smart Subsample?

Smart Subsample is an advanced setting that optimizes the quality of chroma channels, which can lead to better visual results in specific image types.

### Is there a file size limit?

Yes, the tool supports individual file uploads up to 50MB.
